fwiw, i'm with vj on this. let's get this thing released.

my tendency is towards inertia; i think we have a moderately good
spec, good enough to use, and i'd like to at least wait for comments
from moo-cows before we bash on the spec too much. in the case of
multilines, i think i'm in favor of going with the current spec,
possibly (even probably) with the elmination of dummy values for
multilines.
right now i'm making a web page of open issues to go along with the
release. i have as the list:
- removing authkeys and adding a note about security
- maybe making version negotiation more client-driven
- renaming protocols to something like packages or features
- getting a mailing list archive up
- modifications to mulitlines.
also, i've moved the document to

please update your bookmarks. thanks.
